Oman’s women’s national futsal team head coach, Maha Jounod, said that the team received a defeat from the runner up of the 2nd edition of the GCC Games in Kuwait. “ We had bad luck to begin with a tough game against Kuwait team who have good faces in the squad and the players are together since long time and harmony is at high level among them. Due to lack of technical experience, there were many technical mistakes by the national team players which caused entrance of many goals. Despite the results, it is a good step start for a team with a training schedule of one month only. We are looking forward for the following clash against Saudi Arabia,” she said
